Abstract
Description
- The present disclosure relates to a compact-style child-resistant package for containing tablets or the like.
- A general object of the present disclosure is to provide an economical compact-style child-resistant package for containing tablets or the like.
- The present disclosure embodies a number of aspects that can be implemented separately from or in combination with each other.
- A child-resistant package in accordance with one aspect of the present disclosure includes a rectangular tray having a pair of sidewalls, a pair of laterally opposed spring arms extending from the sidewalls, a finger tab on each spring arm and a locking lug adjacent to each finger tab. A rectangular shell has an open front end, a pair of sidewalls, a slot extending longitudinally along each of the sidewalls and terminating short of the open front end of the shell, and a locking pocket extending from each slot at a position spaced from the open end of the shell. The tray is slidably received in the shell with the spring arms interiorly adjacent to the shell sidewalls and the finger tabs slidably received in the slots. The locking lugs on the finger tabs are resiliently receivable in the locking pockets on the shell sidewall in the closed position of the tray within the shell. The finger tabs may be pushed toward each other against resiliency of the spring arms to release the locking lugs from the locking pockets, and then slid forwardly along the slots until the finger tabs engage the ends of the slots adjacent to the open end of the shell to retain the tray within the shell in an open position of the tray extending from the open end of the shell. The tray preferably includes an integrally hinged lid that is closed when the tray is disposed within the shell. The lid and the tray preferably include endless walls that seal the package in the closed position of the lid.
- The disclosure, together with additional objects, features, advantages and aspects thereof, will best be understood from the following description, the appended claims and the accompanying drawings, in which:

FIGS. 1-3 illustrate a child-resistant package 10 in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.Package 10 preferably includes a two-piece assembly with atray 12 slidably disposed within ashell 14. Shell 14 (FIGS. 1-3 , 5 and 9-10) is of generally rectangular geometry including anopen front 16 and a pair of laterally spacedparallel sidewalls top wall 22 and abottom wall 24 are parallel to each other and interconnectsidewalls open front 16 preferably is closed by aback wall 26. Strengthening gussets 27 (FIGS. 9 and 10 ) preferably extend betweenback wall 26 andsidewalls shell 14. Aslot 28 extends longitudinally along eachsidewall Slots 28 terminate short ofopen front 16 at the front of the shell, and preferably terminate short ofshell back wall 26. Alocking pocket 30 extends laterally from eachslot 28 at a position spaced fromopen end 16 ofshell 14 and preferably adjacent toshell back wall 26. Shell 14 preferably is of one-piece molded plastic construction such as polypropylene, and the gate mark 31 (FIGS. 9 and 10 ) frominjection molding shell 14 preferably is disposed inback wall 26. - Tray 12 (
FIGS. 1-4 and 6-8), which also preferably is of one-piece molded plastic construction such as polypropylene, includes abase 32 and alid 34.Base 32 is generally rectangular, having a pair of spacedparallel sidewalls front wall 40, aback wall 42 and abottom wall 44. Any injection molding gate mark 46 (FIGS. 6 and 7 ) preferably is disposed onbottom wall 44 withinwalls ledge 48 extends rearwardly fromback wall 42 parallel tobottom wall 44.Strengthening gussets 50 preferably extend between ledge 48 andback wall 42 for strengthening the ledge. Anintermediate wall 52 is connected by a firstlinear hinge 54 to the edge ofledge 48 remote fromback wall 42.Lid 34 is connected tointermediate wall 52 by a secondlinear hinge 56. Bothlinear hinges back wall 42. A pair ofspring arms back wall 42 and extend away fromsidewalls Spring arms FIG. 4 , and each spring arm has an exteriorly disposedfinger tab 62.Finger tabs 62 preferably have ribbed or serrated outer surfaces to facilitate gripping to open the package, as will be described.Finger tabs 62 are dimensioned to slide freely withinshell slots 28. Alocking lug 64 extends from eachfinger tab 62, preferably extending from the lower surface of each finger tab along the adjacent outer surface ofspring arms -
Front wall 40 andback wall 42 extend laterally beyondsidewalls shelf front wall 40 toback wall 42 along the upper edges ofrespective sidewalls FIG. 7 , which illustratestray 12 as molded in the exemplary embodiment of the disclosure,ledge 48 andintermediate wall 52 are elevated from the upper edges ofsidewalls front wall 40.Lid 34 has afront wall 66 and a pair ofsidewalls front wall 66.Sidewalls front wall 66 extend along three edges of alid base wall 72. The edge oflid base wall 72 remote fromfront wall 66 is connected tointermediate wall 52 bylinear hinge 56, which also preferably is parallel tofront wall 66. Ribs 74 (FIG. 6 ) may be provided on the outer surface oflid base wall 72 to strengthen the lid.Front wall 66 extends laterally outwardly fromsidewalls front wall 40 ofbase 32 in the closed position (FIG. 1 ). In this closed position,lid sidewalls sidewalls base 32.Lid 34 also preferably has anendless wall 76 disposed withinsidewalls front wall 66 for receipt (FIG. 2 ) within anendless wall 78 onbase 32.Walls wall 76 is received by interference fit withinwall 78 both to seal the package and to retainlid 34 in the closed position with respect tobase 32 whentray 12 initially is extended from the shell.Wall 78 also forms a compartment for product, such as tablets, placed within the package.Front wall 66 oflid 34 also has anear 80 with alateral slot 82 for receipt over arib 84 within anindentation 86 infront wall 40 ofbase 32 in the closed position of the lid (FIG. 1 ).FIG. 6 illustratesbase 32 andlid 34 as molded.Lid 34 is initially closed overbase 32 by folding alongfirst hinge 54 so thatintermediate wall 52 overlies ledge 48.Lid 34 can then be opened and closed with respect tobase 32 by pivotinglid 34 aroundsecond hinge 56. - In the closed position of
tray 12 withinshell 14 illustrated inFIGS. 1 and 2 ,lid 34 is sealed againstbase 32 andlocking lugs 64 are received withinpockets 30 to hold the tray in position.Ear 80 onlid 34 is received overrib 84 onbase 32.Spring arms finger tabs 62 are engaged by the thumb and an opposed finger of a user and squeezed laterally toward each other against the resiliency of the spring arms. This inward motion of the spring arms moves locking lugs 64 out of engagement with lockingpockets 30, so that the tray may now be slid out ofopen end 16 ofshell 14 by pushingfinger tabs 62 alongslots 28. The front ends ofslots 28 cooperate withfinger tabs 62 to prevent removal oftray 12 fromshell 14 in the fully extended position ofFIG. 3 unless additional force is applied to the finger tabs. In the fully extended position ofFIG. 3 ,lid 34 oftray 12 may be opened with respect tobase 32 by placing a thumb or finger inrecess 86 and unlatchingear 80 fromrib 84 to provide access to the tablets or other product within the tray. To close the package,lid 34 is closed againstbase 32 andtray 12 is pushed intoshell 14 until locking lugs 64 are received by resilient snap-fit withinpockets 30 ofshell 14.Tray 12 also can be simply pushed intoshell 14 so that the front edge ofshell top wall 22 automatically closeslid 34. In the exemplary embodiment of the disclosure,top wall 22,back wall 26 andbottom wall 24 ofshell 14 form three contiguous surfaces to which one or more labels can be applied. As initially packaged, a label also could extend overfront wall 40 oftray 12 and be removable along perforations, for example, to provide indication that the package has been opened. - There thus has been disclosed a child-resistant package that fully satisfies all of the objects and aims previously set forth. The package has been disclosed in conjunction with a presently preferred but exemplary embodiment, and a number of modifications and variations have been described. Other modifications and variations readily will suggest themselves to persons of ordinary skill in the art in view of the foregoing description. The disclosure is intended to embrace all such modifications and variations as fall within the spirit and broad scope of the appended claims.
